About this place

Geno's Steaks is the neon-lit counterpoint to Pat's, creating one of America's most famous food rivalries on a single South Philadelphia intersection. The visit is as much about the scene as the sandwich.

Trivia

Geno's opened in 1966 and became a major part of Philadelphia cheesesteak tourism.

Visiting tips

Best visited with Pat's if you want to compare both corners. Late-night crowds can be part of the atmosphere.
